Shepherd SM-90 Drone Reed
Tidbits
It has been our experience
that Shepherd SM-90 drone reeds perform best at their factory settings.
All three drone reeds are
identical. Only the Bridle length and the tongue length differentiate
the bass from the tenor drones.
Measurements:
-
Tenor Bridle: 8 mm
-
Tenor Tongue: 14 mm
-
Bass Bridle: 19 mm
-
Bass Tongue 19 mm
The white spacer bands are
removable. However, we recommend that you keep them in place. If
you choose to remove them to fine tune your reeds, BE SURE to store them in
a safe place. Handle the spacers with care if you decide to remove
them as they can break in half lengthwise.
A manual about the SM-90 reeds
can be found HERE.
